    Windows 10 is a liar OS


    I'm really tired to fight against ms urge to collect any kind of data, now the "OS" is pestering me to activate storage sense claiming that "the space is not enough" when it clearly is not true at all, incidentally storage sense will start to upload data on the cloud (next win 10 release) when you have low space on the drive. Sorry for the rant.

    Hi, just wondering, do you perhaps have multiple user accounts with quota limits?
    Set Disk Space Usage Limit For Users In Windows 10

    Note: there is a bug (or has been) where the Recovery partition is allocated a drive letter (when it shouldn't be) and a low disk space warning appears. This doesn't seem the case here.

    Could you please advise- is the message about disk space or archive? (Lost in translation for me- I suspect archive would be the wrong translation here)

    Note 'Storage sense' is a relatively newly (re-)implemented feature....

    Approximate English text (note: this is an English language forum, so translations much appreciated...)

    Archive settings
    Activate the memory sensor?

    PC storage space is insufficient. Go to storage settings and Windows will help you free up
    space.

    I have only one user, and have not enabled any quota.

    I would translate as:

    Storage settings

    Activate Storage Sense?

    Storage space in your PC is insufficient.
    Go to storage settings and windows will
    help you to free up space.

    I'm missing your distinction between storage and archive, what do you mean with archive?

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Try another utility to see what it's readings are 177gb used out of 208gb
    Just because the little graph is off "way off" I don't know what to make of that :/

    Hi, I sorry but it's actually the other way around; graph and label are coherent each other, the readings are:

    "177Gb available out of 208Gb"

    the "problem" is that windows is suggesting I'm out of space and I should enable storage sensor,
    sorry for not translating that.

    Best regards.

    You can try to Disable Low Disk Space Checks (and maybe also the tasks mentioned bellow).
    Code:
    reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "NoLowDiskSpaceChecks " /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

    Probably the best advice, just turn it off, when you disable the service, it will not re-enable by itself easily.
    Code:
    sc config StorSvc start= disabled
    schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\DiskFootprint\Diagnostics" /Disable
    schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\DiskFootprint\StorageSense" /Disable

    I feel the same. Whenever 10 wants to do something for me, I know, I am not gonna like it.
    I turn off every automatic task I can think off, to prevent just that, and it made my life easier.

    After turning off storage sense and receiving the message, I dismissed it (the message). Nothing at all has happed afterwards, so I think it's solved.

    Many thanks to everybody for your kind help, i'm marking this solved.
